The control device 300 may include at least one of a display unit or an operation unit. For example, the control device 300 may display operation information of the cooking appliance 1 and/or receive an operation command of the user through the control device 300.

The door 20 may include a front panel 210. The control device 300 may be installed on the rear surface of the front panel 210.

The front panel 210 may form a front appearance of the door 20. Although not limited thereto, the front panel 210 may be formed of a glass material, and may form an entire front appearance of the door 20.

The control device 300 may include a control housing 310 installed on a rear surface of the front panel 210 and a display PCB 350 installed in the control housing 310. The control device 300 may further include a cooling fan 360 configured to cool the display PCB 350.

A display window 212 may be defined at a position corresponding to the display PCB 350 in the front panel 210. For example, the display panel may be disposed between the display window 212 and the display PCB 350. The display panel may include an LCD panel that displays only information, or a touch panel that not only displays information but also receives a touch command.

The control device 300 may further include a control cover 390 which covers the control housing 310.

The display PCB 350 may be protected from heat and cooled by the cooling fan 360 by the control housing 310 and the control cover 390.

The door 20 may further include a pair of side frames 220 and 221 installed on the rear surface of the front panel 210 and a lower frame 240 configured to connect the lower sides of the pair of side frames 220 and 221.

A connection bracket 380 may be connected to the control cover 390 and the connection bracket 380 may be connected to the side frames 220 and 221.

The door 20 may further include at least one intermediate panel 280 that is disposed rearward of the front panel 210 toward the cooking chamber 12 and that is spaced apart from the front panel 210, and a rear panel 290 that is disposed rearward the intermediate panel 280 toward the cooking chamber 12.

In some examples, the at least one intermediate panel 280 may serve as an insulating panel configured to prevent or reduce heat transfer of the cooking chamber 12 to an outside of the cooking chamber. The rear panel 290 may cover the cooking chamber 12 when the door 20 is closed.

The intermediate panel 280 and the rear panel 290 may also be formed of a glass material. Therefore, the user may check the cooking state of food accommodated in the cooking chamber 12 in a state where the door 20 is closed.

The lower frame 240 may support the intermediate panel 280 and the rear panel 290. In this case, the lower frame 240 may support the intermediate panel 280 such that the intermediate panel 280 is spaced apart from the front panel 210. In addition, the lower frame 240 may support the rear panel 290 such that the rear panel 290 is spaced apart from the intermediate panel 280.

In some examples, where the door 20 includes a plurality of intermediate panels, the lower frame 240 may support the plurality of intermediate panels in a state where the plurality of intermediate panels are spaced apart from one another.

Therefore, a cooling flow path may be formed between the front panel 210 and the intermediate panel 280 and between the intermediate panel 280 and the rear panel 290. Air outside the door 20 may be introduced into the flow path.

A buffer member 288 may be disposed between the intermediate panel 280 and the rear panel 290 to absorb a shock while maintaining a predetermined gap between the intermediate panel 280 and the rear panel 290.

The door 20 may further include a pair of side decoration members 260 and 261 disposed outside the pair of side frames 220 and 221 and a lower decoration members 270 disposed under the lower frame 240.

For example, the display PCB 350, a motor for driving the cooling fan 360, and the like may be connected to wires, which may be inserted into the body 10. The wires may include a power line as well as a signal line.

The wires may be guided by the side frames 220 and 221 and extend downward, for example.

The door 20 may further include a guide frame 410 configured to direct a wire, guided along the side frames 220 and 221, into the body 10.

A structure for inserting a wire connected to the control device 300 into the body 10 will be described in detail below.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 2 . FIG. 5 is a view showing an example wire that extends along an example side frame and that is inserted into an example body through an example guide frame in a state in which an example door is opened. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an example side frame, an example lower frame, and an example guide frame.

Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6 , in order to stably guide wires W connected to the control device 300 to the body 10, some of the wires W may be guided along the first side frame 220 of the pair of side frames 220 and 221. Others of the wires W may be guided along the second side frame 221 of the pair of side frames 220 and 221.

In some implementations, the door 20 may include a pair of guide frames 410. Since the pair of side frames 220 and 221 have the same structure and the pair of guide frames 410 have the same structure, the structure of the first side frame 220 will be described below to avoid redundancy.

In some implementations, the wires W connected to the control device 300 may be guided by only one of the pair of side frames 220 and 221, depending on the number of the wires W. In some examples, the wires W may include a first wire and a second wire. The pair of side frames may include a first side frame 220 configured to guide the first wire to the control device, and a second side frame 221 configured to guide the second wire to the control device.

That is, as the number of electronic components included in the control device 300 increases, the number of the wires W connected to the control device 300 may also increase. Therefore, the wires W may be guided by one side frame, or the wires W may be divided into two groups which are guided by two side frames, depending on the number of the wires W.

The first side frame 220 may extend vertically from the rear surface of the front panel 210 in a state in which the door 20 is closed. In this case, the first side frame 220 may be disposed under the control housing 310.

The first side frame 220 may include a first chamber 222 that extends in the vertical direction. A hinge body 451 of the hinge mechanism 450 may be inserted into the first chamber 222.

The hinge body 451 may be rotatably connected to a hinge frame 460 disposed at the body 10. The hinge body 451 may be inserted into the first chamber 222 from the lower side of the first chamber 222. The door 20 may be rotated together with the hinge body 451 in a state where the hinge body 451 is inserted into the first chamber 222.

In some examples, the lower end of the first side frame 220 may be arranged at a position aligned with the hinge frame 460, as shown in FIG. 5 .

The first side frame 220 may come into contact with the rear panel 290. The size of the rear panel 290 may be larger than the size of the intermediate panel 280.

Thus, the intermediate panel 280 may be disposed between the pair of side frames 220 and 221. FIG. 4 shows that a first intermediate panel 281 and a second intermediate panel 282 are present in the pair of side frames 220 and 221, for example.

Accordingly, the front panel 210, the first intermediate panel 281, the second intermediate panel 282, and the rear panel 290 may be sequentially arranged.

The side decoration member 260 may be disposed at an outside of the first side frame 220, and the second chamber 223 may be disposed at a position between the first chamber 222 and the side decoration member 260 in the first side frame 220. The second chamber 223 may also vertically extend from the first side frame 220.

The second chamber 223 may serve as an air chamber and may minimize heat transfer to the side decoration member 260.

The control housing 310 may define slots 311 and 312 through which the wires W are withdrawn toward the outside.

The wires W may be withdrawn toward outside the control housing 310 through the slots 311 and 312.

In some implementations, since the hinge body 451 is accommodated in the first chamber 222, when the wire W extending from the control device 300 is rotated by the door 20, in order not to interfere with the hinge body 451, the wire W needs to extend in a region inside the pair of hinge bodies 451.

In some implementations, a wire guide 224 configured to direct the wire W may be disposed on the opposite side to the side decoration member 260 with respect to the first chamber 222 in the first side frame 220.

That is, the wire guide 224 may be disposed between the first chambers 222 of the pair of side frames 220 and 221. The wire guide 224 may guide one or more electric wires including power lines configured to transmit power from a power source to the control device 300, and signal lines configured to transmit control signals from the control device 300 to other components of the cooking appliance 1.

The wire guide 224 may include a first extension 224 a configured to come into contact with the rear surface of the front panel 210, a second extension 224 b that is bent from the first extension 224 a and that extends in a direction perpendicular to the front panel 210, and a third extension 224 c that extends toward the first chamber 222 from an end of the second extension 224 b.

The first extension 224 a may extend in one direction (e.g., one lateral direction) from one surface of the first side frame 220 and the third extension 224 c may extend from the second extension 224 b toward the one surface of the first side frame 220 in a direction opposite to the extending direction of the first extension 224 a. In this case, the one surface of the first side frame 220 may be a surface perpendicular to the rear surface of the front panel 210.

The third extension 224 c may extend in parallel to the first extension 224 a and the horizontal (e.g., left-right) length thereof may be shorter than that of the first extension 224 a.

The end 224 d of the third extension 224 c may be spaced apart from the one surface of the first side frame 220 to form a path 224 e into which the wire W is inserted.

The wire guide 224 may define an accommodation space 225 in which the wire W is disposed.

In some implementations, the first intermediate panel 281 may be located on the side of the second extension 224 b and the second intermediate panel 282 may cover the path 224 e. When there is one intermediate panel, the intermediate panel may be arranged to cover the path 224 e.

As an example, the first intermediate panel 281 may be disposed between the second extensions 224 b of the pair of side frames 220 and 221.

In some implementations, the wire W positioned in the accommodation space 225 may be restricted from slipping out of the accommodation space 225 by the third extension 224 c and may be also restricted from slipping out of the accommodation space 225 by the intermediate panel 282.

The lower frame 240 may include a panel support 241 configured to support the first and second intermediate panels 281 and 282 and the rear panel 290, and a side frame connection portion 244 disposed at both ends of the panel support 241.

The panel support 241 may include a plurality of support ribs 242 to support the first and second intermediate panels 281 and 282 and the rear panel 290 in a state of being spaced apart from each other.

A portion of the side frame connection portion 244 may be fitted in the second chamber 223 and therefore, the side frame connection portion 244 may support the side frames 220 and 221.

In this state, a single fastening member may fasten the side decoration member 260, the side frames 220 and 221, and the side frame connection portion 244.

An opening 245 through which the hinge body 451 passes may be formed in the side frame connection portion 244.

A guide frame connection portion 246 to which the guide frame 410 is connected may be disposed under the panel support 241. For example, the guide frame connection portion may be disposed directly below the panel support 241. The guide frame 410 may be rotatably connected to the guide frame connection portion 246.

The guide frame connection portion 246 may be disposed at a position spaced inward from the side frame connection portion 244 such that the guide frame 410 does not interfere with the hinge body 451.

That is, the pair of guide frames 410 may be disposed between the pair of hinge bodies 451.

The guide frame connection portion 246 may include a pair of plates 246 a and 246 b spaced apart from each other.

The guide frame 410 may include a frame body 416 configured to define a guide space 417 for guiding wires therein and a connection body configured to rotatably connect the frame body 416 to the guide frame connection portion 246.

The frame body 416 may have, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape, but is not limited thereto.

The connection body 412 may be formed to have, for example, a cylindrical shape having a space therein and the frame body 416 may extend in a direction intersecting the rotation center of the connection body 412 in the connection body 412.

The connection body 412 may include a pair of hinge portions 413 and 414.

The pair of hinge portions 413 and 414 may include a first hinge portion 413 and a second hinge portion 414 having a smaller diameter than that of the first hinge portion 413.

In this regard, the guide frame connection portion 246 may include a first hinge hole 247 configured to receive the first hinge portion 413, and a second hinge hole 248 configured to receive the second hinge portion 414. The first hinge portion 413 may be rotatably connected to the first hinge hole 247, and the second hinge portion 414 may be rotatably connected to the second hinge hole 248.

In some examples, the pair of plates 246 a and 246 b may include a first plate 246 a in which the first hinge holes 247 is formed and a second plate 246 b spaced apart from the first plate 246 a, in which the second hinge holes 248 is formed.

By varying the diameters of the hinge portions 413 and 414, the guide frame 410 may be easily assembled to the guide frame connection portion 246 and, in the assembled state, the guide frame 410 may be rotated.

For example, after the first hinge portion 413 is positioned in the first hinge hole 247, the second hinge portion 414 may be connected to the second hinge hole 248.

A guide opening 415 may be formed in the connection body 412 such that the wire W passes through the connection body 412. The panel support 241 may have a slot 241 a through which the wire W passes.

The electric wire W guided by the side frames 220 and 221 may passes through the slot 241 a of the panel support 241 and be then inserted into the guide frame 410 through the guide opening 415 of the connection body 412.

A portion of the guide frame 410 may be inserted into the inside of the body 10 through a body opening 17 defined in the body panel 16 of the body 10.

In some implementations, since the wire W connected to the control device 300 is positioned inside the pair of hinge mechanisms 450, it may be possible to prevent the wire W from interfering with the hinge when the door 20 is opened or closed and from being exposed to the outside.

In addition, since the wire W extends along the inside of the guide frame relatively rotating with the door 20, it may be possible to prevent the wire W from being damaged when the door 20 is opened or closed.

In some implementations, the wire guide may be defined in the side frame, and the wire connected to the control device may stably extend to the lower side of the door even when the control device is positioned on the upper side of the door.

In addition, since the wire connected to the control device are located in an area inside the pair of hinge mechanisms, it may be possible to prevent or reduce an exposure to an outside of the door and interference between the wire W and the hinge when the door 20 is opened or closed.

Furthermore, the wire may extend along the inside of the guide frame and rotate with the door, which may prevent or reduce damage to the wire W when the door 20 is opened or closed.
